I have an iPhone 3G, a 3Gs and a Tmobile MyTouch 4G.
Both iPhones are a complete joke. To the point of rage WRT ATT service.
The tMobile, while not having 'H' coverage everywhere in SF, is LIGHTNING fast by comparison.
There are several other factors, aside from network, that play into this. The OS and HW on the iPhones are just slow and old by comparison. Where - even on my home wifi network pages are slow to render in the browser.
(Even simply launching the SMS app on the 3G iPhone takes as much as 10-ish seconds to display text)
The MYT4G also has no progress indicator on the sending of SMS - where the iPhone does -- and it does the classic "Load to 90% quickly, then pause forever, if sending at all"
Finally, I have had the iPhone since launch day, and have gone through 9 separate handsets in that time. On every single one of them - the 3G and signal bar indicator have been an utter lie. At times when it claims to be online - it has, over a large percentage of the time I have been a user, not been able to "activate cellular data network" for various reasons - or simply "call canceled" so many times I am fed up.
The "call canceled" sound is heard at least 3 times a day minimum.
In closing, if I could have apple and AT&T reps in the room - I would like to kick them in the balls.
